8 to per cent, closing at 4. Prime mercan-
tile paper 6tG7. Sterling exchange active and
strong at S.. $3.50 for sixty-day bills and S4.S74

was more decided weakness shown in the
stock market to-day than at any time since
the break of Dec. 1e. The market in London
was depressed by the unfavorabe aspect of
the political situation Ii Europe and the re-
suit was serious panic in the market for
securities here. This induced heavy selling
BY foreign business houses here and very few
of the prominent stocks escaped
tho pressure, although ST. Paul is
believed 10 have been the heaviest
sufferer In the forenoon Jersey Central dis
played considerable strength, by reason of
the support gwen the stock by the pool, and
Hooking Valley made material advance on

ceeded. The decline, however, resumed, and
by noon prices we're materially below those
of Saturday evening. Another dive was
made at values early in the after
